[Heb-NACO] Bible. Haftaroth

[Elhanan Adler]

Thanks to all for your input on this

I think using Haftarot stand-alone (as a liturgical work?) as Benjamin suggests solves many of our problems.

If you are interested, here is a bit of background on the project-
The NLI (then JNUL) had separate catalogs for its various collections with very little coordination between them. Each collection had also its unique subject headings (in 9xx fields). While the BIB records of the separate collections (Scholem, maps, music, sound archives, manuscripts and some others) were merged some time ago, converting the subjects to the general library subject standards (fields 630/650/651/655) is a lot more complex. The last collection which still has 'local' subject fields is the manuscript collection, whose records include also cataloging records of the Institute of Hebrew Microfilmed Manuscripts – i.e. some 90% of the known Hebrew manuscripts of the world (over 150,000 records). The manuscript 'subjects' are not all subjects – they include subjects, form/genre, texts themselves and names of places connected with the ms. (not necessarily subjects). There are over 35,000 such unique 'subjects' some of which need to be folded into others. Many need to become unique 730s or NLI-unique 655s (ketubbot, gittin, shetarot, etc.) . 10,000 have been completed and 25,000 still to go. More information about this project at the NLI update session in June.

Elhanan,
Your note “Bible. Haftaroth”  is misleading and is not a valid LC  heading (see n  81026486) .

The LC heading is coded rda but the reference structure, in my opinion,  should be evaluated and updated.  My suggestions are as follows:
130         Haftarot
430         Haftaroth
430         Bible. ‡p Prophets.$k Selections
430         ‡w nnea ‡a Bible. ‡p O.T. ‡p Prophets  (note:  LC does not differentiate between Latter prophets and Earlier prophets)
430         הפטרה
430         הפטרות
430         Any other references you decide to keep from n 81026486
670      Encycl. Judaica, 1971 ‡b (Haftarah, plural Haftarot)
670         he.Wikipedia.org viewed March 11, 2015:  הפטרה  Haftarah; ha-Haftarah hi keta mi-sifre ha-Neviim she-nahug li-kero ba-tsibur be-Vet ha-keneset le-ahar siyum ha-keriah ba-Torah  … ההפטרה היא קטע מספרי ה

For a specific Haftarah I suggest the following model:

130 0  Haftarot (Be-reshit); Haftarot (Noah); Haftarot (Lekh lekha) , etc.
430 0  Haftarot. $k Selections
430 0  Bible. ǂp Isaiah X, 32-XII, 6. ǂl Hebrew. ǂf 1898  (etc.)

My reply is not the official  position of the IJ Section of the Library of Congress.

Shalom all

Bible. Haftaroth is a valid heading but there are no examples of specific haftarot or groups of haftarot

Printed volumes of haftarot usually (always?) contain haftarot for the entire year, but the NLI catalog has many cases of manuscripts of single haftarot or groups, for example:
Haftarot of vayikra-devarim
Haftarot of beha'alotekha-korah
Haftarah of yom kippur
Haftarah of Haazinu
Etc.

How do you think these should be entered?

Best wishes
